I dunno, that is a big fat issue for me here with any Probate attorney, if one is involved.

I too believe that the F-in gov-mint should keep their fat noses out of all the cokkie jars where they don't belong, but that certainly will not change, so, all we can do is adjust when adjustments are needed.If the article is, in fact, pointing to large institutional buyers who will take down the bulk assets, I am willing to bet that many of them will leak them to us smaller investors, and perhaps at better prices than what you currently find on the market.

During the lease-signing I explain the 'common sense rule': If something breaks that is the house's fault -- old plumbing, a range burner shorting out, a meteor smashing a window, etc., then I will pay.However, if the plumbing clogs up due to something bad flushed down, or the oven catches fire because they didn't clean it, or it wasn't actually a meteor but Jr's baseball that damaged the window - then it's their fault.Common sense!

In our case, "Fat A$$" (as our evicted tenant has become affectionately known as) probably got coached by somebody because he finally answered his summons on the last day of the deadline forcing the case to court, another 2 week delay.

These "fat cats" will pick up and emigrate to Australia and New Zealand.How it ends will be anyone's guess.

We also made a new wood burner out of steel and thats what we heated the house with.

Bowling and billiards are things that fat guys can do!

Or call up the Father from My Big Fat Greek Wedding... maybe he's looking for a vacation home :)

I'll feel better about all this when those of us who have been making payments, regardless of the value of our house, and who are not underwater get a nice big fat check, too.Think about it.

(Fat chance you'll see Scott Yancey or Dave & Pete in here offering helpful info....)"
